When this function is set to “ON”, the Digital 3R picture system applies edge

ON

correction to the luminance signal to enhance detail.

OFF

NOTES:

 

 

 

 

Normally it is recommended to keep “DIGITAL 3R” set to “ON”.

 

Depending on the type of tape being used, picture quality may be better with “DIGITAL

 

3R” set to “OFF”.

 

If you use the recorder as the source player for editing, be sure to set “DIGITAL 3R” to

 

“OFF” before starting.

 

 

8 DIGITAL TBC/NR

Your recorder is equipped with the Digital TBC (Time Base Corrector) that

ON

removes jitter from fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable picture even with

OFF

old tapes and rental cassettes.

 

The on/off of Digital 3-DNR (Noise Reduction) which cuts noise and enables

 

clear picture reproduction is also linked to this function.

 

We recommend that you set “DIGITAL TBC/NR” to “ON” when...

 

... playing back a tape recorded on a camcorder.

 

... playing back a tape repeatedly used.

 

... using this video recorder as the source player for editing.

 

NOTES:

 

 

If you play back a tape recorded under poor TV reception condition, the picture may

 

become more stable with Digital TBC/NR set to off.

 

When “DIGITAL TBC/NR” is set to “ON”, if you play back a tape where certain types of

 

signals are recorded (using a PC or some character generators), the playback picture

 

may be distorted. If this is the case, set “DIGITAL TBC/NR” to “OFF”.

 

When playing back a MESECAM tape, Digital TBC/NR does not function even though

 

“DIGITAL TBC/NR” is set to “ON”.
